UK: The Duke of Cambridge attends This Can Happen, a mental health conference at the InterContinental London, east London.

On this day

In 1815 the Napoleonic wars ended with the signing of the second Treaty of Paris; in 1945 the Nuremberg war crimes trials began; in 1951 Snowdonia was designated a National Park; in 1962 President John F Kennedy announced the lifting of the US naval blockade on Cuba; in 1992 fire swept through Windsor Castle causing extensive damage.

Nature notes

The blackcaps that can be seen now are mostly not the birds that people saw during the summer. As the last of those leave us for the Mediterranean, after a final wander around the countryside looking for berries, a small number of new blackcaps arrive here from central Europe. These are our winter-visiting blackcaps. They are in the same grey-brown plumage as in summer, the males with black skullcaps and the females with brown caps in the same position on top of the head. The blackcap is one of the few species of small bird that has become more common here in summer and more than a million pairs of them now nest each year in the woods. They have rich, melodious songs, which in some lush woods you can hear on a long walk practically every hundred yards. The winter visitors come into gardens much more and are often aggressive to other birds on the bird table.
